Steps to create polygon features with a GPS

The Add GPS Vertex and Add GPS Vertices Continuously buttons are enabled if
the GPS is activated.

Tap the Add GPS Vertex button each time you want to use the current GPS
position coordinates to capture a vertex.

The vertices are drawn with a blue box and joined with a line.

At any time, you can tap and hold anywhere on the map to display the Capture
menu. Refer to the Creating line features task for more information on the
Capture menu. Use the Capture menu to create vertices at specified x,y
coordinates or relative to the last vertex or the current GPS position. You
can also delete the last vertex.

The Vertex dialog box is automatically displayed if GPS position averaging is
enabled for vertices.

The Vertex dialog box shows a progress bar, which counts down from the
specified number of GPS positions to average until it reaches zero.

Tapping OK before the averaging is complete will display a dialog box asking
whether you want to terminate the GPS position averaging. Tap the X button
to cancel the capture of the vertex.

Tap the Add GPS Vertices Continuously button to use the incoming GPS
coordinates for capturing vertices in a streaming mode. A vertex will be
captured each time ArcPad receives a coordinate from the GPS, based on the
specified streaming vertices position and streaming intervals.

Tap the Proceed button to complete the capture of the new polygon feature.

ArcPad will automatically close the polygon by adding a final vertex with the
same coordinates as the first vertex.

The Feature Properties dialog box, or custom edit form, is automatically
displayed after the new polygon feature has been created.

On the Attributes tab, tap the Value field to open the associated Value text
box for typing in attribute data.
